The Triumphant Team

Book excerpt: n The Triumphant Team, leading team psychologist Dr Declan Woods provides forty dynamic practices to help any team work more effectively, perform better, and deliver the results their organisation expects. Teams can often be complex, messy and a bit slippery, and getting the best out of them can feel like an uphill struggle. It’s a sad fact that most teams underperform, and few ever realise their true potential. This uniquely practical self-help book for teams will show you how to release their magic. It demystifies the common-place challenges that teams face in the workplace, and by focussing on those things that make a real difference, it takes all the guess work out of the drive for top performance. Through an accessible range of tried-and-tested, flexible practices, you’ll discover how to build and nurture a united, cohesive team whilst getting to grips with those intangible, elusive issues that can impact your team’s effectiveness and undermine its productivity. Whether you’re leading a team or working in one that’s in need of some extra help and direction, this smart guidebook will provide you with a wealth of practices to adapt as part of your everyday routines, and the power to transform your team from simply ticking over to being truly triumphant.
